Pablo Martinez in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nimes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nobody could get near Bissourou Touré
Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

One of those days for Bilel Aouacheria
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.62, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

No hiding place for Moussa Diallo
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Moussa Diallo, and the manager let it.

A long bet from Nimes on Charles Berger
He is 16, and nobody at Nimes signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Nimes sign Émile Moulin, one for the future
Émile Moulin is 16, and Nimes have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Nimes sign Arnaud Paris, one for the future
Arnaud Paris is 16, and Nimes have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Nimes buy the years ahead of Sébastien Gérard
He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Honours even between Nimes and Red Star
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
